This calendar sheet for June by Dutch artist Theo van Hoytema depicts a nest of baby birds, with the mother bird feeding them. The design is framed by illustrations of a garden scene. It is a fine example of the illustrative style popular in the early 20th century, and exemplifies the use of art to celebrate the natural world. The artwork, dating from 1915, is part of the collection of the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam.
